They are hands down the best saw in the $500 range. Thanks for watching.

Yeah. I’ve picked up a couple of saws during those sales. 620 is hard to beat dollar for dollar. Thanks for watching.

Awesome! The saws just keep accumulating over time at my place! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. You can’t go wrong with the 620. The echo saws really give you the best bang for your buck nowadays!

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thanks. I try and collect the older stihls I just love them.

I just started into saws about a half year ago i like the way the older ones feel when cutting to me it isn't a issue weight etc. and I am not big but don't cut wood that often.@@whatsthebuzz1

You can definitely find older stihls that still run great. I have a 028 041 and 075.

Nice wow a 075 that has to be a blast to run that beast I just got a 056super that might be my biggest one @@whatsthebuzz1

I said the cs 370 airfilter is smaller but, otherwise identical in design to the cs 7310's meaning smaller scale, the smaller the saw the smaller the filter and the cs 7310 bigger saw has a bigger airfilter? And both of these configurations are superior to the 620p and nothing to do with relevance ? just to clarify my statement. I've owned several Swedish made husky's much better machine's than these modern-day versions in my own opinion and perfer the Echo's performance, warranty and price vs new husky's and i tried the lighter more expensive 562xp with plastic clutch cover ect. Autotune that requires an ecm so performace wise you get what you got without being able to fine tune or do any real modifications and that's OK for ppl that have no idea how to maintain saws i guess. a friend had to replace the carburetor and that alone cost him almost $300 if it needed an ecm you will have spend more $ on these 2 parts alone without the cost of labor. You can buy a new fully tunable mod friendly more powerfull 59cc 620p with an all magnesium case without all the plastic or the electronic autotune crap without having to go through a dealer for the parts or repair costs. The torq is nowhere close to the 80's Swedish made torq#'s My 620p a bit heavier for a 59cc saw with less plastic and the torq being right up there with 72cc models who cares. Just a much better and more dependable saw all around despite the airfiler issue that cost $15 to resolve. So, I'm happy you like your husky and not disputing their filtration system that design evolved from those earlier Swedish saws that were the most powerful dependable an far more superior to everything else at that time and time changes everything ! You'll pay well over $1000 -$1500 for the husky or stihl with a full magnesium case saw equivalent to the $600 echo 620p

Thanks. I appreciate you watching.

I'd agree, but I wish the top and rear handles were wider. Controls feel so small for a saw of this class. As for oiling, it's still running the MS362 pump so it's borderline with a 25" bar. Definitely wouldn't go longer than that.

The oiler has been a complaint of many people. That is something stihl should have addressed. Also the plastic handle bar on a commercial saw is ridiculous.

Thanks for watching

I hear ya. I cut with larger saws often so I don’t notice a few pounds. I just wonder what you give up in durability for saving lbs? Time will tell with the newer saws. Thanks for watching.

Agreed. It all depends what your using the saw for.

Thanks for watching.

I will be doing some serious cutting this winter. I will keep an eye on the filters. Thanks for watching.

572 is a great saw, But i consider it a more professional saw. I was just comparing homeowner/commercial saws here. Thanks for watching.

@@whatsthebuzz1 fair point. You’re spot on with the echo saws. Best out there for the money right now.

When I bought my stihl last year I was given a 2 year warranty and with the purchase of 1 gallon motomix or oil I was given an additional 3 years. 5 year total coverage.

I picked up a 572, 32" light stihl bar a few weeks ago with the 20% sale Husqvarna had. $1,000.

That’s a great price.

My personal opinion is the non electronic carb saws will have the least amount of problems. I like the 680. It’s a tried and true design. If you ran every saw the same amount of time it would be awesome to see which saw outlasted the others! Thanks for watching.

I’m new to the electronic carbs. I prefer manual, but I see the advantage for somebody to not have to mess with an adjustment. I just use logic that over history the more electronic components the more problems and less longevity. They ruined trucks, tractors, and maybe saws?

@@whatsthebuzz1 I get what you’re saying. Computer control is more of my go to about 90% of the time, but there’s times I want something extra basic. I think it’s more of a different category of computer and non computer controlled. Like comparing top handle and rear handle saws, it’s really two different categories that can do the same job but can’t replace each other. EFI engines last longer than carburetor engines and far less maintenance and greater efficiency. It took some time to get there. There’s not much nostalgia in a 1980’s TBI. There’s just something special about an older pickup with a carburetor and no electronic controls or gauges. I think the biggest disadvantage of EC is the lack of general knowledge and understanding when it comes to general repairs and maintenance. Plus the needed scan tools involved with diagnostic’s and manufactures denying consumers the right to repair their own property.

Yeah, percentage wise I see what your saying with the weight. I really like my echos when you get them on sale and then open up the mufflers. They gain a lot of power and speed. Thanks for watching.

Port the 620P and it will smoke the 400 for the same, or less, money in the cut.

You can do a lot to the echos to gain speed and power, and still be under purchase price of most stihl saws. Thanks for watching.

Never heard of them, but I’ll look them up.

@@whatsthebuzz1 I have one I got from a friend and it’s really good I did have a oiling problem but it was easy to fix in the local mechanic here in west cork 🇮🇪 and it is working really great and no problems

That’s a good point. Cutting in the woods is totally different than just cutting on a pile at your house. Thanks for watching.

I'm 6'3" 275lbs so 4lbs doesn't matter. But if your

True. Size does matter!😂

I agree. I run the aftermarket o-ring kit they sell for the 590 and 620 on my saws. Helps a lot, but shouldn’t be necessary. Thanks for watching.

I’ve had the husky for about a year. Well over 10 tanks through it. It cuts fine, but it’s not that far ahead of the echos. Biggest point I was making is for the price the echos are better. I would skip the 562 and just get a 572. Thanks for watching.

@@whatsthebuzz1 Gotcha. Yeah, I have the 572xp and it's a good low vibe saw with a solid build. FYI- the 562xp was revised this year and the new updated model hits retailers probably this winter. Lighter with some more oomph and other little improvements. That said, the Stihl MS400 is still the superior saw with a light bar.

Yeah, I wish they would have kept the pop style air cleaner. Feel like they cheapened out a little bit there.

Sorry to hear that about the 562. Could be a bad e-carb. Have to taken it back to the dealer? I’ve heard of the 562 having issues. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, I believe you are correct if you purchase fuel and oil.

I agree it needs both dogs. Trying to find some good aftermarket ones to put on it.

@@whatsthebuzz1 if you can find a 670 cover with the spikes it should fit the 680 perfectly. I don't know if the old spikes are the same as the current ones though.

Appreciate the heads up. I didn’t know the 670 would fit. I’ll keep a look out for one.

I recently bought the 680. I wish it had a magnesium side cover like the 620. I think the only reason for the magnesium side cover on the 620 is the outside spikes. If it wasn't for the double spikes, it too eould have a plastic clutch cover. My old echo 650evl was a great saw. It's cut a LOT of wood. Although hardly ever used anymore, it still runs like a champ. It has a magnesium clutch cover, and it is cracked. But I'm talking years of cutting. Not only for heating the house, but also for cutting & selling firewood. It was the reputation of my 650evl that steared me to the 680.

Awesome. Those older echo saws were legendary!

The favorite gets weighed with a lightweight bar!😂😂😂😂

I hate the 620 air filter as well. Echo did finally come out with a redesigned air intake system and filter. Check out the 7310. It’s arguably the best system on the market now. I have one and love it. Thanks for watching.

@whatsthebuzz1 Yes, sir I've been around the 7310 really good machines! Cs680's also share the round auto style airfilters and the cs370 uses a similar setup & my go to saw for cutting under 24" It's had a few mods done to it since 2009 but the older I get the more I appreciate the smaller saws

It would pull better with a 20, but if it’s being marketed as a commercial saw I want it to pull at least up to a 24” bar. The stihl and echo will pull up to 27”. Thanks for watching.

being a "professional" saw has nothing to do with bar length, lol. @@whatsthebuzz1

Ha! I’ll bring out the big boy toys in videos soon!

I can see you’ve never climbed any spars for a yarder!
